Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

26 Sep 2014

Last night Atlanta Federal Reserve President Dennis Lockhart said that the Fed's main policy statement will almost certainly shift in October as its bond-buying program winds down.

The current statement says the Fed will wait "a considerable time" after the end of its bond-buying program before raising interest rates. The end of the bond-buying program means that phrase will have to change, Lockhart said, though the committee may just drop the reference to the asset purchases and keep the rest of the language. With the softening economy, Lockhart, for one, said he thinks "considerable time" should remain.

"Some adjustment will come because of the reference to the end of asset purchases. That does not mean necessarily that the use of the phrase considerable time will be dropped," Lockhart said. "Whether we like it or not any change in language will be viewed as a signal. As policymakers the question I have to evaluate is do I now want to make that signal?...I would prefer to see a little more time pass to confirm that we are on the path that we think we are on and that we are going to start normalization with our statutory objectives in sight."

He also said that global trends may keep that dollar at its current high levels, particularly the continued weakness in Europe.

From the rise in the dollar alone "it is hard to disentangle whether we are getting a vote of confidence or whether the rest of the world is showing more trouble or weakness," he said.

Fridaywill see the release of Japan's CPI Germany's Gfk consumer sentiment, France's consumer confidence, U.S. core PCE, GDP in Q2 and University of Michigan sentiment.

EUR/USD - 1.2746...... Euro finally gains respite in Asia after suffering from recent losing streak. Despite yesterday's climatic sell off in European morning after penetrating key daily sup at 1.2745 (2013 bottom in Apr) to a near 22-month trough of 1.2696 (1.26955 on EBS), minor short-covering lifted the pair to 1.2736 and price came under renewed selling on Dallas Fed Richard Fisher comments on Reuters that the Fed may start raising rates around the spring of 2015, at the earlier end of market expectations, bids above 1.2700 contained pullback and euro later climbed to 1.3765 in NY as weaker-than-expected U.S. data prompted further short-covering in euro.

Although euro has edged lower in Asia from 1.2761 on intra-day renewed dlr's strength caused by strong bounce in dlr/yen, range trading is expected to continue n traders would look to cover their shorts ahead of the weekend. Initial bids are noted at 1.3730-25 and more at 1.3700 with stops reported below 1.2695, however, good buying interest is touted near 1.2690/80.

On the upside, offers are tipped at 1.2760/65 and more at 1.2775/80 with stops (fairly large) building abv 1.3800/10 area.

USD/JPY - ...... Despite the greenback's initial weakness to 108.48 in Australia, renewed buying emerged there n pushed the pair higher. Dlr rose to 109.11 ahead of Asian open, n then higher to 109.16 in Asian morning on comments from Japan's Shiozaki. However, price pared its gains and retreated briefly but sharply to 108.85 b4 rebounding again in Europe.

Japan Welfare minister Shiozaki said he has no intention to put off reforms for the Gov't Pension Ivestment Fund (GPIF).

Reform of this fund is expected to result in more investment being channeled into Japanese equities n overseas assets, thus causing weakness in yen.

Bids are now seen at 108.80/90 n more below at 108.50/60 with stops building up below there whilst initial offers are noted at 109.40/50, suggesting buying on dips is still favored.

Earlier this morning, despite extending previous day's gain to 109.34 ahead of Tokyo open on Thur, then a marginal rise to 109.37 at European open, the pair fell sharply below 109.00 level in Thur's NY morning on risk aversion due to decline in U.S. n European stock markets together with news of Japan's health minister Shiozaki who said no hurry to reform GPIF.

Price tanked to 108.51 n then briefly recovered to 108.88 b4 edging lower in NY afternoon. Dollar fell briefly to 108.47/48 in Tokyo morning but rebounded to 109.11 as Nikkei pared initial losses after a 286 points 'gap-down' opening.

Although yesterday's intra-day sell off fm 109.37 to 108.51 indicates choppy trading below last Fri's 6-year peak of 109.46 wud contniue as investors are reluctant to add bets ahead of the release of U.S. GDP data (even though it is a final reading) n consumer sentiment report later today, range trading abv this week's low at 108.26 (Tue) shud continue in Asia n early Europe.

Offers are noted at 108.75/80, 108.95/00 n around 109.20, whilst bids are placed at 108.35/30 n then 108.20 with mixture of bids n stops located just below 108.00.

On the data front, economists estimate the U.S. Q2 real GDP is likely revised higher to 4.6%, while no significant revisions are expected for the GDP price index n core PCE deflator in Q2.

Later, University of Michigan will release report for consumer sentiment in Sept n market expects the final Sept sentiment index to come in higher at 84.7 than the preliminary report.

Coene added he considered Sep's demand to be at predicted levels, n he expected it to be greater at the next operation in Dec. "The fact that they didn't take a lot seemed to us more or less foreseeable in the month of Sep," "I think there will be more pronounced demand for the December offering."

GBP/USD - ...... U.K. Sept Nationwide house prices +9.4% y/y n -0.2% m/m. U.K.'s Nationwide says 'Q3 London house prices +21% y/y vs Q2 25.8%, 31% above 2007; U.K. house prices may soften in Q4, but outlook uncertain.''

Cable shrugged off the release of weaker-than-expected house price data and climbed above Asian high of 1.6268 to 1.6271 shortly after European open.

Fresh bids are noted at 1.6240-30 and more at 1.6220/15, then 1.6210 with mixture of bids and stops emerging below 1.6200.

On the upside, offers are placed at 1.6275/80 and 1.6290/95 with stops placed just above 1.6300.

Earlier cable swung wildly on Monday as despite a brief fall to 1.6210 in tandem with euro at NZ open, price ratcheted higher in Asia and Europe on broad-based weakness in greenback.

Later, the British pound climbed to a session high of 1.6275 in NY morning before retreating to 1.6245 and then 1.6225 shortly after Asian open on Tuesday.

Range trading above yesterday's low at 1.6210 is expected until European open as investors are reluctant to add bets ahead of the release of U.K. current account and the confirmation of Q2 GDP reading at 08:30GMT.

Bids are noted at 1.6220/15 n then 1.6210 with mixture of bids and stops located around 1.6200. On the upside, offers are placed at 1.6250-60 and then 1.6275/80 with stops placed just above 1.6300.

Market expects the U.K. Q2 final continues to post strong readings with a growth of 0.8% Q/Q and 3.2% Y/Y.

Meanwhile, economists estimate U.K. Q2 current account deficit to narrow to 17.00 bln pounds from 18.5 bln pounds in Q1 (in the other way to show increasing demand for pounds from foreigners).

Reason:
